Eileen Hardwick (on the left in the photo) and Susan McLachlan also have been with the White Rock Farmers' Market since the beginning.
They started out the first year selling various types of gift baskets. They really did not have a successful season, but Eileen noted that the homemade doggy treats that she kept in her pocket to hand out to the visiting dogs were very much appreciated. The next year they took a leap of faith and dropped the gift basket plan, and went totally with the home made dog treats, and have been successful with that ever since.
They are at White Rock most weeks, but with the help of husbands Rick and Duncan, also sell their treats at the Ladner Market. They are kept busy at the end of the year attending Christmas craft fairs.
They offer treats in different sizes and flavours, including peanut butter, cheese, liver, garlic and wheat free.
Presently, Rick and Eileen own Jadie, a black Lab, and Susan and Duncan own Winston the Boxer and Zoe the Boston Terrier.
The name of their business came from combining Zoe's name with the name of the Eileen and Rick's previous black Lab, Sadie

Hmmmm, which ones would my dog like?
And an interesting looking dog, shepherd/bassett cross? (my guess) takes advantage of the water bowl they put out.
And because I am a touch 'evil' I had to include this photo. Well especially because Eileen said I had better not....
Let's just say they haven't quite mastered the art of taking their tent down yet. Another vendor came to help...
But they figure they will have it down pat by the end of the season:)
Stop and by and get your dog a bone!
